That was the best laugh I've had all day. Unfortunately, what this is
talking about is basically brute-force attacks to steal information off of a
computer, and any *NIX system with Samba installed and active will be
just as vulnerable as a Windows system. In fact, since there's other
protocols that *NIX uses for networking (x11, NFS, et. al), that opens up
a wider attack footprint than a Windows computer has, should all of the
services be active.
